Look at me

Coming clean

Still Ethan's p.o.v

"Tell Mika What"

The familiar voice echoed through his mind. He jerks his head up to see Mika herself standing in front of him.

"Fuuuuuuuuccccckkkkk"
He says elongating the word softly

"Ethan whats going on?"
She says quietly, sitting next to him.

"I-I don't know what's wrong with me"

He whispers as Mika attempts to make eye contact, but Ethan already staring at the ground. She could see the pain in his eyes but let's him continue.

"I'm an idiot, and I don't think you'll ever forgive me for this"

He says not losing contact with the ground, and starts to fiddle with some grass between his fingers.

"Ethan whatever it is you can tell me. No matter what you did or what happened I'll always love y~"

"Mika I'm gay"

This this time Ethan cutting her off before she could finish her sentence. They stay there in silence for a bit, then Ethan finally looks up at her. A single tear streaming down her cheek.

"Ethan I... I know "
She whispers putting her hand on Ethan's and giving it a small squeeze.

"Y-you know... how?"
He asks, a million questions running through his head as he tries to keep himself together.

"Well I thought you might be, because of the way you look at Mark"

(That earned a solid blush from Ethan's cheeks)

"But I didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong or you just didn't realize it yet"

She gives his hand another small squeeze and softly smiles.

"So... your not mad?"

He's confused, didn't think this was the reaction he would get from her.

"Of course not, I'm proud of you for finding out who you are, and if I could help you get there I'm glad I could help out"

She says, her voice truly genuine and caring.

"Mika you really are the best"

He says hugging her tightly. Mika trying to hide her pain, she knows how hard this will be and her feelings won't just magically go away, but she can only imagine how hard this must be on him. Right now the best thing she can do is give support.

"I try"

She laughs as she pulls away and stands up, Ethan does the same.

"I really hope we can still be friends, I can't lose someone as important as you"

She says on the verge of crying.

"Of course we can!"
He answers quickly surprised by how well this all went. She puts her hands on his shoulders.

"Take care Ethan"
"You too Mika"

And with that she turns around and walks away. Just like that, it was over.
